Make an emergency plan The City of Philadelphia wants you to be ready for any emergency. To be ready, you need to start planning for an emergency now, not in the middle of one. Think about different kinds of emergencies, like a house fire, snow storm, power outage, hurricane, or terrorist attack.

For citizens, the end of a Snow Emergency means that cars can once again park on Snow Emergency routes. Cars left on Snow Emergency routes between 8am through 9pm today were likely relocated.

Snow Emergencies support @PhilaStreets plowing. Although the snow has stopped, there is still a snow emergency in effect. Please do not park your cars on these routes. The sooner the streets are cleared, the sooner the snow emergency can be lifted #PHLSnow http://ow.ly/v0Zt30iOPLt

Many SEPTA routes are suspended or are detoured at the moment. If taking mass-transit, please check SEPTA's System Status page for info on your route
http://www.septa.org/realtime/status/system-status.shtml … #PHLsnow

After the storm ends, please be aware of debris, like tree limbs or wires in the snow, and icy road conditions as temps dip below freezing tonight. Use caution on sidewalks and streets while travelling #PHLsnow

Keep your cell phone fully charged in the event you lose power. Know who to call if a tree falls on power lines and how to report and track power outages. #PHLsnow

Preparing for Power Outages | Office of Emergency Management

March 5, 2018 Power outages happen year-round. They can be a temporary nuisance caused by a system failure or something that impacts our lives for days, resulting from a Nor'easter, Tropical Storm or other severe weather. Outages can also impact travel, bringing trees down on wires or roads that affect mass-transit or create hazardous driving conditions.

If you must drive (avoid if possible) plan on difficult travel conditions. Be prepared for reductions in visibility at times. Give yourself extra space between cars and give plows plenty of room. Make sure you have a full tank of gas. #PHLsnow

Heavy, wet snow expected to fall through evening rush hour. Concern for bringing down trees or tree branches on power lines. If a tree falls during a storm and poses a safety threat, call 9-1-1. Otherwise, call 3-1-1. More info on who to call ⬇️

Philadelphia Streets Dept has moved from a salting operation to begin plowing over 2,500 miles of roads in the city. Please allow them room on roads, give space on corners to turn, and don't shovel snow back into streets. Learn more from Streets Department⬇️ http://www.philadelphiastreets.com/highways/snow/

Philadelphia Streets:

Our Highway Unit is the primary response team during snow and ice events. One of the major challenges the unit incurs is snow being shoveled back into plowed streets after city teams clear the street. This practice is not only illegal, it's a hazard to drivers and pedestrians.

One of the top ?'s coming into @Philly311 today: When is trash/recycling collection? Trash & recycling collection is suspended today. Hold Wednesday trash until Thursday. Thursday & Friday collections will be delayed one day.
